ANTHONY KNOCKAERT has urged Albion to play more keep-ball to cure their Premier League travel sickness.
The Seagulls try to improve on a record of one point and one goal away from home in four games at West Ham this evening.
French winger Knockaert, on target in the 1-1 home draw against Everton last weekend, said: “We’ll go there and try to get at least one point.
“If we play well and do the things the gaffer asks us we will try to get the three points. We always play different away than at home. We need to change it now and be conscious that, if we play football, we can cause problems against many teams.
“We saw it against Everton, who are a tough side. It’s up to us to do what we do at home and bring it into away games. It means keeping the ball as we do more at home than away. We see straight away, when we do that we cause problems.”
Knockaert, relegated to the bench by record signing Jose Izquierdo for the last away game at Arsenal, is likely to retain a starting role at the London Stadium.
